Thank you to everybody who responded-great suggestions. Especially Ed, for 
reminding me to remove the horse first! :-) It's been a tense week, and I 
needed a laugh.

Ok, here's a mushy alert: proceed at your own risk. I can't tell all of you how 
much I appreciate your generosity & support. Being a sole proprietor AND being 
new to embroidery can be overwhelming and scary.  It's reassuring to have a 
group of friends who are so willing to share your knowledge and expertise. 
Bless you all.
Best regards,

  Sandra,
      I can't imagine sewing something like that.  Be sure to remove the horse 
before you try!!  You would simply have to decide whether or not you think you 
could hoop it - and get it to stay hooped.  Hooping crazy things like that can 
be a science in and of itself.  I've even seen some embroidery companies put on 
their outside sign,... "if we can hoop it, we can embroidery it".  Odd I 
thought because most customers don't have a clue what "hooping" is.  If you are 
creative, you might invent a new way to hoop something thick like a horse 
blanket.  Just be careful not to damage your machine.  I once had to tell a 
customer that I wouldn't be able to embroider her son's baseball glove unless 
she let me disassemble it first.  She chose to do something else.
      If you are able to get it hooped, use a sharp, 80/12 needle and slow the 
machine down a bit.  I also agree with Ms Beverly on the topping.  You probably 
won't need backing because if the blanket is woven that tight, I would imagine 
it's rather stable and stretchy in the least.  Although using backing wouldn't 
hurt, it would only require a slightly higher material thickness.

    Hi Sandra,

    My daughter and I ride,  we embroider our Hay bags and horse blankets, 
their pretty thick, but the only saddle pad i know you might could do would be 
the navajo type.  Make sure you tell the customer you would try, but can't be 
responsible if it doesn't work out.  Some of those pads are tightly woven,  
those would probably work, you'll need to use topping though.
